stuff.co.nz APRIL 21, 2016, CHRISTCHURCH MAIL ANZACDAY2016 Significance of Anzac Day not dimmed ADVERTISING FEATURE More and more New Zealanders are attending Anzac Day ceremonies in the 21st century, so it is a day that still has much relevance. In fact, being at Gallipoli on April 25 is almost a rite of passage for many young Kiwis travelling overseas. Generations of New Zealanders interpret the day a little differently, and the last 40 years appear to have been a time of much redefinition. Anzac Day was caught up in the protest movements of the 1960s and 1970s, especially around issues of peace and women’s rights. In 1967, members of the left-wing Progressive Youth Movement in Christchurch laid a wreath protesting against the Vietnam War. Similar incidents occurred at subsequent Anzac Days as protesters tried to bring attention to their anti-war cause. The end of the Vietnam War saw the fading of anti-war protests on Anzac Day, although other lobby groups – feminists, gays, antinuclear and peace protesters, and Maori activists – laid wreaths at Anzac Day services during the 1980s. It seems the day was now being used to make statements about war and society. Many returned servicemen were puzzled or angry at this, but such activities breathed fresh relevance into the day. Increasingly, Anzac Day was regarded as an appropriate day on which to debate defence and warrelated issues. Former servicemen and politicians used the day themselves to speak out on antinuclear policy during the 1980s. Anzac Day had undergone a renaissance and more young people attended the services. The growing mood of nationalism evident in the 1980s found partial expression in a day that had always been an opportunity to mark what some people thought of as the foundation of a distinct New Zealand identity at Gallipoli. The 75th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings in 1990 attracted immense interest. This was the year in which New Zealand marked the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. As a result, many New Zealanders discussed issues surrounding the theme of national identity. An official delegation, led by the Governor-General and including a Gallipoli veteran, was at an emotional service at Gallipoli on April 25. There was even more interest in the 90th anniversary of the landings. In 2005, thousands of New Zealanders were at Gallipoli. They gathered in the chill evening of April 24, marked the dawn service with the Australians, and attended the distinctly New Zealand ceremony at Chunuk Bair later in the day. Interest certainly peaked in 2015, and many thousands of New Zealanders turned out to mark the 100th anniversary. For example, there was a crowd of 34,000 attending the dawn service at Auckland’s War Memorial Museum. Here in Christchurch, Cranmer Square overflowed with people well before 6am. Now, people remark on the number of young New Zealanders in the crowds, many wearing their grandparents’ and greatgrandparents’ medals. 9 The playing of The Last Post is a familiar element of dawn services around the country on Anzac Day.
